WordPress 6.7 is not using your language files – solution
-
Here is a quick solution to the problem with the location of language files with translation in WordPress 6.7 – which I myself have successfully used:
A ready-made bash script that automatically moves the language files on the whole server from the plugin folder, to the system folders.As a result, you don’t need to do anything else on the sites themselves (even if there are a lot of them)? ??
Place in the root of the server (or user directory) and run.All processes are logged.
P.S. Or just move your files manually: from ‘/wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/’ to ‘/wp-content/languages/plugins/’, and from ‘/wp-content/languages/loco/themes/’ to ‘/wp-content/languages/themes/’
#!/bin/bash
# Set the log file to the current directory
LOG="$(pwd)/logfile.log"
# Function for logging
log_message() {
echo "$(date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') - $1" >> "$LOG"
}
# Recursive directory traversal
find . -type d -path "*/wp-content/languages/loco/plugins" | while read -r dir; do
# Move files from /wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/ to /wp-content/languages/plugins/
target_dir="$(echo "$dir" | sed 's|wp-content/languages/loco/plugins|wp-content/languages/plugins|')"
mkdir -p "$target_dir"
mv "$dir"/* "$target_dir"
log_message "Moved files from $dir to $target_dir"
done
find . -type d -path "*/wp-content/languages/loco/themes" | while read -r dir; do
# Move files from /wp-content/languages/loco/themes/ to /wp-content/languages/themes/
target_dir="$(echo "$dir" | sed 's|wp-content/languages/loco/themes|wp-content/languages/themes|')"
mkdir -p "$target_dir"
mv "$dir"/* "$target_dir"
log_message "Moved files from $dir to $target_dir"
done
echo "Script completed."

Testing on the Eagle Booking plugin.
I create a new language for it (Ru).
I edit the text I need.
If I move (inside the Loco plugin) the language file to the system or author’s – then the translation is pulled. If to the individual (languages/loco/plugins/) – then no.A working ‘crutch’ that restores the plugin to work.
Add this code to the end of the /wp-content/plugins/loco-translate/loco.php file
By changing if(true) to if(false) (at the beginning of the code) – it is easy to enable/disable the scriptif(true) add_action('init', function()
{
// Paths for language files
$plugin_custom_path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/languages/loco/plugins/';
$theme_custom_path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/languages/loco/themes/';
// Array for storing found domains
$textdomains = [];
// Function for searching and adding domains based on .mo files
function find_textdomains_from_files($directory, $locale, &$textdomains)
{
// Open the directory and look for all .mo files
$mo_files = glob($directory . '*.mo');
// If files are found
if ($mo_files) {
foreach ($mo_files as $file) {
// Checking if the file exists
if (file_exists($file))
{
// Get the file name without extension
$domain_with_locale = basename($file, '.mo');
$domain_parts = explode('-', $domain_with_locale); // We split the domain by the '-' symbol
// If there is a locale at the end, remove the last element of the array
if (count($domain_parts) > 1 && end($domain_parts) === $locale) {
array_pop($domain_parts); // Remove the last element (locale)
}
// We assemble the domain back from the array
$domain = implode('-', $domain_parts);
// Add the domain to the array if it doesn't exist yet
if (!in_array($domain, $textdomains)) {
$textdomains[] = $domain;
}
}
}
}
}
$locale = determine_locale(); // Determining the current locale
//error_log("locale: ".$locale);
// Trying to find text domains for plugins and themes
find_textdomains_from_files($plugin_custom_path, $locale, $textdomains);
find_textdomains_from_files($theme_custom_path, $locale, $textdomains);
if (!empty($textdomains)) {
// error_log("Found text domains: " . implode(', ', $textdomains));
} else {
//error_log("No text domains registered.");
return;
}
// We go through all registered text domains
foreach ($textdomains as $domain)
{
//error_log("domain: ".$domain);
// Skipping already loaded domains
if (is_textdomain_loaded($domain)) {
//error_log("Text domain '{$domain}' already loaded.");
continue;
}
// Path to translation file for plugins
$mo_plugin_file = $plugin_custom_path . $domain . '-' . $locale . '.mo';
if (file_exists($mo_plugin_file)) {
//error_log("Loading plugin translation for domain '{$domain}' from {$mo_plugin_file}");
load_textdomain($domain, $mo_plugin_file);
} else {
//error_log("No translation file found for plugin domain '{$domain}' at {$mo_plugin_file}");
}
// Path to translation file for themes
$mo_theme_file = $theme_custom_path . $domain . '-' . $locale . '.mo';
if (file_exists($mo_theme_file)) {
//error_log("Loading theme translation for domain '{$domain}' from {$mo_theme_file}");
load_textdomain($domain, $mo_theme_file);
} else {
//error_log("No translation file found for theme domain '{$domain}' at {$mo_theme_file}");
}
}
